Does anybody want to have a COTH meet up at Equine Affaire in MA? Would need to be the Saturday schedule, for me......

I'll be there the entire time representing MGAA. Doing a demo on Thursday morning (right after Bruce Davidson!) a clinic on Thursday afternoon and have a booth in the Mallory center through the whole event. Stop by and say hi! I'll most likely be stuck in the booth.

Mounted games across America! One of the two affiliated members of the Mounted Games Association, which is a world-wide organization devoted to the sport of mounted games. It's like gymkhana games, in a team format, so sort of relay races on horseback. Tons of fun! My daughter started playing games in Pony Club, and moved on to MGA as she aged out of PC. Now I'm playing too, in the fossil division.

It's a blast! We don't have any competitions in New England, but we're hoping to generate some interest and maybe form our own association up here. Right now we travel between 8 and 10 hours to compete once a month six months out of the year.

We will be doing a 2 team demo on Thursday morning, a clinic Thursday afternoon, and will have a booth for the whole event, with videos, brochures and friendly games riders to answer questions.

Going on Saturday. Taking my 11 yo niece who lives close by.
Of course it's a sacrifice that aunts have to make sometimes - sure I'll get nothing out of it!
Is there any official COTH uniform or secret handshake, so we might know each other in passing?

I hope to see folks there!

Here is her info about the booth location:

It's number 2117 I think. I'm pretty sure it's in the Stroh building, it's the breed display building, even though we are not a breed organization.

I'm going! It's my first time, and I've got the boyfriend with me, so he will have lots of learning to do! I'll be there on Saturday, so I will definitely wander on over! Can't wait to actually meet some COTHers in person!
